**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jun 11 02:59:57 2006 Jun 11 03:00:14 Can anyone help me with the boot process for a minute? Jun 11 03:01:55 I was running full Debian (installed through debian-installer) and have flashed DebianSlug. Not sure if that was right, as I can't make it boot now Jun 11 03:02:46 How can I get back to the flash-based root? I've "turnup disk /dev/sda1" but I want to switch back Jun 11 03:09:18 I presume my mistake was that the DebianSlug firmware needs some stuff on the root disk that my native debian install did not have Jun 11 03:09:32 Unplugging the disk has gotten me back to the flash root. Jun 11 06:45:32 i'm lazy, is there an ntp client that keeps the slug synced enough to serve nfs? mine is useless currently Jun 11 06:46:09 openntpd doesn't seem to adjust the fake clock on teh slug... which one are you all using? Jun 11 06:55:45 caplink811 :) Jun 11 07:20:22 lol I'm installing Debian/NSLU2 Jun 11 07:20:30 "Setting up the clock" Please wait... Jun 11 07:20:32 hehehe Jun 11 09:12:17 caplink811 :) Jun 11 10:03:21 is it possible to apply the grsecurity patch to the kernel? Jun 11 10:06:29 is it possible to put a usb hub on the second usb port and chain together a printer, wireless card, webcam? Jun 11 10:28:38 I think so, at least some pictures on the site seem to have quite a lot of peripherals connected to the slug :) Jun 11 10:31:44 <[FG-HC]Eiffel> an active usb hub should be you choice ;-) Jun 11 10:31:49 <[FG-HC]Eiffel> +r Jun 11 11:12:18 caplink811 :) Jun 11 13:50:30 hi Jun 11 13:51:19 I've got a minor problem: uptime isn't working - /var/run/utmp and wtmp are missing Jun 11 13:51:48 does anybody know how to fix this? Jun 11 15:16:01 any word on http://www.slug-firmware.net/ status? Jun 11 18:35:58 can someone try to compile the pwc webcam driver and see if it compiles and loads plesae. thanks. also try to zd1211 wireless driver. Jun 11 18:44:14 i cant seem to find how fast the machine is. and how much mem.. are those not important on Arm arch? i dont know much about Arm Jun 11 18:48:43 cat /proc/meminfo Jun 11 18:48:46 cat /proc/cpuinfo Jun 11 18:49:03 csant-: i dont have one yet. i am thinking of getting one though. Jun 11 18:49:51 csant-: i want to setup network printing, wireless access point using a zd1211 wireless card, and webcam (pwc) with motion for motion detection. Jun 11 18:50:06 csant-: and webserver and ssh. Jun 11 18:50:43 deadcat: you can find that info @ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ Jun 11 18:51:34 csant-: oh. what about compiling a custom kernel with grsecurity patch? Jun 11 18:59:02 csant-: are you using debianslug? Jun 11 18:59:17 not yet Jun 11 18:59:24 been planning to switch to it, though Jun 11 18:59:54 csant-: cool. do you have to use the kernel from debianslug or you can compile your own? Jun 11 19:00:25 i guess i can compile my own if i feel like it :) Jun 11 19:00:36 i think i saw this product on sale, but i didnt think it was useful at the time. )= i actually thought it has a hdd inside (= Jun 11 19:01:38 csant-: cool. i want to get a kernel with grsec patched. that would be awesome. i want to use the nslu2 to handle what my desktop is handling right now. so i can turn the desktop off (= Jun 11 19:03:20 ok. its a 266Mhz machine. Jun 11 19:05:11 csant-: the howtos on the wbesite uses ipkg. because they are not using debianslug right? Jun 11 19:05:46 you probably need to search in the right section Jun 11 19:06:13 k Jun 11 19:06:27 csant-: by the way. how $ did you get it for? Jun 11 19:06:58 something like 80 EUR Jun 11 19:07:05 nice Jun 11 19:07:38 its a must have for me now (= Jun 11 19:07:55 run bittorrent with screen hahah Jun 11 19:10:50 i wonder what the uptime of the thing can be... Jun 11 19:25:06 deadcat Jun 11 19:25:17 You can get it on advertising sites cheap Jun 11 19:25:30 www.marktplaats.nl (that's for Holland) has it for like... 40-50 euros Jun 11 19:26:02 You should really get one, haven't got it quite working (wanted to run Apache / PHP / MySQL on it), but I got Debian running, Samba, cronjobs etc. :) Jun 11 19:27:00 The wiki pwns :) You can find all information you want there Jun 11 19:27:40 deadcat, the zd1211 driver does not seem to work in access point mode (yet). pwc works fine (a pal of mine was using his webcam on his nslu2 until the root disk died) Jun 11 19:30:15 EvilDevil: it works on my ppc and x86.. Jun 11 19:30:42 EvilDevil: cool. now i DEFINITELY have to get one soon (=.. Jun 11 19:31:46 l0c4lh0st: the apache/php/mysql is software config, nothing to do with hardware though right? Jun 11 19:32:22 i plan to run libapache-gallery-perl(photo gallery) Jun 11 19:35:30 so is it 133mhz or 266mhz? http://bytered.com/downloads-logos.html Jun 11 19:36:37 133 when you buy it ;) Jun 11 19:37:16 deadcat, it's 133 mhz from stock. but someone reported he got a brand-new (manufactured may 2006) nslu2 running @ 266 mhz Jun 11 19:37:29 huh? Jun 11 19:37:43 are they selling not-underclocked ones now? Jun 11 19:38:09 csant-, somewhere on the wiki (i think it was at the howto overclock the slug page) Jun 11 19:38:29 neat Jun 11 19:38:41 too bad I already bought one from the old stocks... Jun 11 19:38:55 oh well, was planning to overclock it thi coming week anyway Jun 11 19:39:34 deadcat, i tried it some weeks ago and it didn't work (zd1211 in AP mode. my laptop was able to see the network, but was unable to connect to it (even without encryption)) Jun 11 19:39:50 14(deadcat14): Yes, that's true, it's only software, but I can't find any Debian compiles / ipkg packages for it yet :P Jun 11 21:20:36 EvilDevil: try to connect to it with a diff wireless card, some chipsets dont seem to work. i know my orinoco wont connect to it. a madwifi should. Jun 11 21:23:18 deadcat, it's already to late. sold the zd1211 and bought a used netgear wgt634u which does the job now (usb-printserver, usb-scannerserver, wlan-access-point, bluetooth access-point) Jun 11 21:23:48 EvilDevil: nice nice nice (= what chipset does the wgt634u use? and what driver? Jun 11 21:25:18 EvilDevil: oh.. nevermind. its all in one thing Jun 11 21:25:41 EvilDevil: are you running debianslug or openslug on your nslu2? Jun 11 21:33:48 deadcat, debianslug. and the wgt634 is a broadcom based router (8mb flash, 32mb ram, 200Mhz Mips CPU) with 1x usb2.0 and 1xMini PCI equiped with an atheros 54g card Jun 11 21:34:47 EvilDevil: damn. sounds like the netgear thing is better than the nslu2? Jun 11 21:38:48 deadcat, it's not as fast as the nslu2 Jun 11 21:38:54 ah Jun 11 21:39:05 http://wiki.openwrt.org/HardwarePerformance Jun 11 22:08:43 after installing debianslug onto the nslu2 with a usb2 hdd, can i dd the content of the hdd to a usb thumb drive and use the thumb drive instead of the hdd? or which ever i want? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jun 12 02:59:56 2006
